    Garden Shows Not Marketing To GenX?

    Blog_shots_061Hanna over at This Garden Is Illegal has a very interesting post about why gardening shows aren’t terribly popular. Hanna says:

    Gardening shows don’t get Gen X. I remember cooking shows as a child. They were ghastly boring (no offense Julia Child).
    Guess what, gardening shows are ghastly boring – present tense. Cooking
    show got revamped so that trendy Gen X’ers would gobble them up while
    eating their Chinese take out. It just so happens that the rest of the
    generational masses thought we had pretty good taste.

    Yep. She has a lot more, and I agree with her 100%. Bring the education and the entertainment and I’d be a whole lot more interested in watching gardening shows.
